ElanIC is the world’s lightest and most compact waterproof microprocessor hydraulic ankle. It features a discreet, compact and lightweight design that is clinically proven to give greater comfort, improved safety, a smoother gait and balanced limb loading.
The 3R80 with its unique rotation hydraulics principle is now also approved for prosthesis wearers with a bodyweight of up to 150 kg. With the 3R80, both the stance and the swing phase are controlled by the hydraulics.
The unique, all-new KX06 features a robust, waterproof, polycentric, 4-bar knee in combination with hydraulic swing and stance for a smooth, predictable operation and outstanding geometric stability in all-terrain for high-impact and active users. The resilient and waterproof design makes KX06 ideal for the active user who requires a reliable knee that can withstand wet, muddy or dusty environments.
Working as one limb, Linx delivers an experience that mimics the incredible and complex structure of the human leg by actively sensing and analysing data on the user movement, activity, environment and terrain providing a coordinated stream of instructions to the hydraulic support system.
BladeXT is lightweight, flexible and responsive, yet durable. It delivers outstanding performance, ground compliance, comfort and postural support from the twin toe spring and traction heel, while its C-shaped toe spring is primed for optimal energy response. The result is a sports blade that offers the user versatility, security and the confidence to enjoy an active life.
Suitable for moderate to high active users that require a larger range of flexibility and excellent energy return. Unique sole plate and virtually indestructible unique glass composite material
Meridium prosthetic foot offers a high level of security along with increased adaptability and a more natural motion sequence. The unique 4-axle design with hydraulic real-time regulation therefore adjusts itself immediately to the user’s walking speed and ground conditions
Flex-Foot Assure is ideal as a first prosthesis or a more permanent option for the less active, particularly those experiencing poor vascular health and/or diabetes.
Esprit is a low profile, lightweight, waterproof foot that provides excellent energy response. Ideal for longer residual limbs or where additional components are required.
Cheetah Xplore is a unique crossover foot prosthesis inspired by the original Cheetah design. Although primarily designed for everyday use, Cheetah Xplore allows the user to engage in various sports and activities.
The Challenger is intended to be used without a footshell in low top sports shoes. For transfemoral amputees, the Challenger can be combined with the Genium X3 and Genium mechatronic knee joints.
Bilateral users especially benefit from the new deliberate stance function that complements the intuitive stance function. Now, users can also conveniently control their Genium via smartphone with the Cockpit app for Android devices
X3 opens up entirely new possibilities: showering, going swimming or at work – since the system is water and corrosion-resistant, it stands up to any ambient conditions
The safety and stability of Orion3 encourages users to evenly distribute their weight, offloading their sound side and lower back to reduce aches and pains commonly reported by amputees.
RHEO KNEE is an advanced prosthetic device for transfemoral amputees that continuously adapts to an amputee's walking style and environment
The next generation of integrated prosthesis that combines a microprocessor knee and powered microprocessor ankle with proactive ankle flexion
The award-winning Echelon is a waterproof hydraulic ankle that absorbs and damps on impact, self-aligns on rough and sloping surfaces, then remains dorsiflexed at toe-off.
The Skeo Sealing gives you noticeably more flexibility – leaving you free to focus on the important things in life. Whether you like to take things a bit easier or lead an especially active life, nothing can hold you back when you use the Skeo Sealing.
Physical rehabilitation is the process of physically recovering from your amputation and adjusting to any physical changes you may experience. Your education and training will usually start the day after surgery.
The following are helpful definitions that pertain to amputations:
You will learn many important things about caring for yourself after surgery including:
Wearing a prosthesis is a very important step in both physical and emotional healing after an amputation. The process of getting fitted for a prosthesis typically begins 6 to 8 weeks after surgery. Your initial hospitalization and rehabilitation will focus on healing and promoting your independence before getting fitted for a prosthesis.
When you wear a prosthesis, you help prevent swelling in your residual limb and improve your muscle strength and flexibility. Wearing a prosthesis also leads to greater independence and a sense of accomplishment and well-being. These are all positive factors for good emotional health.
Understand that a prosthesis is a very unique piece of equipment designed specifically for one person. After you and your team determine the type of prosthesis that best fits your lifestyle, a prosthetist will work with you to create your device. This involves a series of measurements, cast molds, and multiple fittings so that the prosthesis can be shaped as closely as possible to resemble your other leg. Creating a prosthesis is a team effort and requires two-way communication between you and your prosthetist, as well as patience and cooperation. The goal is to build a prosthesis that is comfortable to wear and will maximize your mobility.
Discuss your options with your prosthetist.
Once fitted with a prosthesis your prosthetist will educate you on care and fit, and will begin a therapy program in combination with your rehabilitation team aimed at improving your mobility using your new prosthesis.
Inspect your skin after wearing your prosthesis to look for signs of poor fit. These include redness that does not go away, blisters, or skin tears. If you see any of these problems, stop using your prosthesis and notify your prosthetist immediately
